Whitewashed Effect Waterborne Wood Floor Primer
Bona White is a pigmented, waterborne primer designed to give untreated wooden floors a beautiful whitewashed appearance, particularly on light wood species. Its easy-to-apply formula helps reduce wood yellowing while preserving a natural, Scandinavian-inspired look.
The intensity of the white finish can be controlled by applying one or several coats. One coat typically maintains the appearance of raw, untreated wood, while two or more coats create a stronger whitewashed effect.
For best results, combine with Bona Traffic HD (including Raw), Bona Traffic GO or Bona Mega EVO in Extra Matt or Ultra Matt finishes.
